Do NASA’s 3I/ATLAS photos show evidence of spacecraft targeting meteors in its path?: Harvard scientist

Does 3I/ATLAS have interstellar headlights?

Harvard scientist Avi Loeb speculated that NASA’s recently released photos of 3I/ATLAS could potentially point to its artificial origins — and even wondered if the so-called comet was purposely targeting and sweeping meteorites out of its path. He posited his theory in a viral new blog post on Medium.

“The extended glow is ahead of the object, not trailing it as expected for a cometary tail,” the astrophysicist told The Post. “In the case of a technological object, it could be a beam of particles or light illuminating the path forward to avoid the hazards of micrometeorites.”

It seems to me also, that a large planetary object like a small moon or comet, would have the shell of rock surrounding it as it travels. Like if a Moon much like Titan, was propelled and the interior is hollow and filled with equipment and occupants.

This is all BS in the first place. In the 21st Century, it is ALL ABOUT scaring the citizens of Earth.

OK I stand corrected. From a NASA site (https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/asteroid-or-meteor/en/) I found this definition of meteoroid

Sometimes one asteroid can smash into another. This can cause small pieces of the asteroid to break off. Those pieces are called meteoroids. Meteoroids can also come from comets.

Size matters after all.

Makes me think of the sci-fi book Footfall, when the first sign of troubles to come was by astronomers who detected what appeared to be an asteroid, making deliberate course corrections to put it on an intercept path with earth.

When you meet a real alien, call me ..I want to have dinner WITH them. Tired of all this half-ass conjecture about “extraterrestrials” without ANY hard evidence, except that which is suppressed or explained away
by evil societal controllers..
My brother is a big time MUFON member...For 25 years all I hear is the same old line...he has NEVER presented any hard evidence...just conjecture, and some. Ph.D guy sez this or that.
If you want an open mind, I suggest you open your mind to the possibility that there are no same dimensional beings in our universe as us. Fun to imagine, fun to write and watch sci-fi movies, books, etc...but no HARD evidence. And only espouse the idea when , let’s say, the Kanamits show up.I guess they’ll have me over FOR dinner..
Thank you for your response, and FREEGARDS.

Didn't they hide for while among the rings of Saturn to check out the situation on Earth before they invaded?

What’s going on is an attempt to fit the observed data into some sort of model. When all other observed facts to not fit the model, one has to look for alternative explanations.

3I has at least 12 anomalies never before seen in any one object and some never before seen anywhere, like the nickle without iron in the coma - only seen on Earth in industrial processes.

So when observed data only seems to fit a technological expalination, one can speculate that some technological process is at work. If that was the case, it does not mean some biologicals are present, but they could be or its a probe that uses biological processes in its operation - hence the heavy cyanide signature.

It all just an exercise in using one’s mind to fit the data, not the other way around. Using preconceived ideas to fit the data is not constructive and leads to wrong, misleading, and dangerous conclusions.

There is a lot of evidence of something unusual, but that does not mean aliens are present.

They’re making a list and checking it twice ...

1,000,000% spot on

Art Bell was a lot of fun.

Loeb is putting my feet to sleep.

I agree with you about data fitting. All I disagree with is trying to make all data fit a, so far, model that has little conclusive evidence. I especially dislike the media reporting on Loebs conjectures as it they are new conclusive revelations. Then all the people who do entertain the possibility of extraterrestrial same dimensional life start repeating it....
There are probably thousands of TV shows and movies( the number keeps growing) which feature extraterrestrials...ya’ think by now some researcher documentation would report on the solid evidence having seen, handled, and analyzed the material... I will add that one of my favorite sci-fi stories was a British TV series which was later made into a movie..(Dr Quatermass and the Pit). In the USA the film was titled “Five million years to Earth’s...although the effects look dated, the implications of the story line are thought provoking.
Freegards...

We only have to wait 1 month and we’ll know. As for now, until then, whatcha gonna do abot it?

Loeb recently asked Kim Kardashian to be on one of his committees. He recently wrote on his blog that the numbers 2 and 6 have a bit of importance in his life.
Sounds like a once brilliant man experiencing mind deterioration. I have seen that picture before with others.

Are we seeing that with Candace Owens? Except for the brilliant man aspect. We certainly saw that with the Unibomber.
Can’t always use the “open mind” defense to excuse wild conjecture.
